BUG: Text After First Double Quote Is Not Displayed in Form View (166894)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual InterDev 1.0
This article was previously published under Q166894 SYMPTOMS
When viewing the content of a database with a form created by the DataForm
Wizard, if the database has a record with text of the form something
"quoted text," nothing starting with the first double quote is displayed.
CAUSE
The function named QuotedString in the file xxxForm.asp generated by the
wizard has this function:
Function QuotedString(varTemp)
If IsNull(varTemp) Then
QuotedString = Chr(34) & Chr(34)
Else
QuotedString = Chr(34) & CStr(varTemp) & Chr(34)
End If
End Function
However CStr(varTemp) needs to be HTML encoded, so if the string includes a
double quote, it is changed to an equivalent value including the escape
character of the double quote (Chr(34)).
RESOLUTION
The function that needs to be changed in the XXXForm.asp is called
QuotedString. The correct function should look like this:
Function QuotedString(varTemp)
If IsNull(varTemp) Then
QuotedString = Chr(34) & Chr(34)
Else
QuotedString = Chr(34) & Server.HTMLEncode(CStr(varTemp)) & Chr(34)
End If
End Function
STATUS
